when it is connected to a router.

For safety, we suggest you plug the extender right way up as the picture shown

below.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

This chapter covers the following topics:

 Before You Begin

 Basic Requirements

 Quick Setup

Please read this guide carefully before installing and using the device. The

operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly

depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can

weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal

appliances or obstructions and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of

materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.

In order to optimize the performance of extender, please follow the instructions

below to achieve an ideal location (please make sure it is always within the

wireless coverage of the wireless router).

● Half-way Between Generally, the ideal location for extender is half-way

between the Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is

not satisfactory, you may place extender somewhat nearer to the Wireless

router.

● Less Obstacles - Clear obstacles in the way between extender and

Wireless router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the

corridors.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

● Less Interference - Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and

other household electronics, such as cordless phone, microwave, and

baby monitor, etc., to minimize signal interference.

 Place your extender in a well-ventilated place far from direct sunlight,

any heater or heating vent.

 Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat

dissipation.

 Turn off your extender and unplug the power adapter in a lighting

storm to avoid damage.

 Use appropriate Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0

or above, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or above.

 Operating temperature of the extender should be 0℃~40℃ (32℉

~104℉).

 Operating humidity of the extender should be 10%~90%RH

(Non-condensing).

Power On

Plug the extender into an electrical outlet near your router, and wait until

the Power LED is lit and solid blue.

WPS is an easier way to extend your host network. We

recommend you to use this way if your host router has a WPS

button. The button might look like one of these: , , .

Otherwise, please use Using your web browser.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

Connect

Press the WPS button on your router/AP.

Immediately press the WPS button on your extender. The LED

should change from flashing to solid, showing that WPS connection is

successful.

If you are connecting the extender to a dual-band router but only

2.4GHz or 5GHz LED is on, repeat step 1 and 2 again to connect the

other band.

Relocate

Plug the extender into an electrical outlet about halfway between your

router (Host Network) and the Wi-Fi dead zone.

Wait until the LED is lit with a solid blue. If not, relocate the extender

closer to the router to achieve a good (or better) signal quality.

For more information about using WPS on your router,

please refer to the router manufacturer's user guide.

 If the RE LED does not change from flashing to solid,

please refer to Using your Web Browser.

 Some ISP gateways disable the WPS function by

default, if the WPS method fails, please refer to Using

your Web Browser.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

Enjoy!

The extender shares the same wireless network names (SSIDs) and wireless

passwords as those of the host networks.

Power On

Plug the extender into an electrical outlet near your router, and wait until

the Power LED is lit and solid blue.

Enjoy!

Both extended networks share the same Wi-Fi passwords as those of the host

networks, but may have different wireless network names if you customize the

SSIDs during the configuration.

The extender can be used as a wireless adapter to connect any

Ethernet-enabled device, such as a Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or

smart TV, to your wireless network.

After the extender connected to the Internet, you can connect an

Ethernet-enabled device to the extender using an Ethernet cable.

By default, the Ethernet port connects to the 5GHz wireless network. If you
